WCF/C# Unable to catch EndpointNotFoundException
- by Paul Jones
Hi all,
I have created a WCF service and client and all works until it come to catching errors. Specifically I am try to catch the EndpointNotFoundException for when the server happens not to be there for whatever reason, I have tried performing a simple try catch block catching the specific error and the communication exception it derives from and I've tried catching just Exception. None of these succeed in catching the exception, however I do get
A first chance exception of type
'System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException'
occurred in System.ServiceModel.dll
in the output window when the client tries to open the service. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
